Holger Rune received a correction at the Masters 1000 in Miami from a player little known to the general public. Jannik Sinner, however, did not miss the opportunity to pocket his ticket for the 8th finals.
Against all expectations, Holger Rune suffered a disappointment this Sunday at the Masters 1000 in Miami against a competitor little known to the general public, Fabian Marozsan. But beyond the result, the content is even more surprising. Facing the modest 57th player in the ATP rankings, the No. 6 seed in the Florida tournament only won two games in total.. He lost heavily in 1 hour with the incredible score of 6-1, 6-1. The Hungarian therefore reaches the third round where he will find another surprise guest, the Australian Alexei Popyrin who eliminated the number 26 seed, the Czech Jiri Lehecka.
On the other hand Alex De Minaur and Grigor Dimitrov, for their part, did not miss their entries into the running. Exempted from the first round, the Australian avoided the South Korean trap Soonwoo Kwon whom he beat 6-3, 6-2. Seeded No. 9 in Miami, Alex De Minaur will face Jan-Lennard Struff in the third round. The Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov will have another German on the menu, Yannick Hanfmann. To achieve his goals, the 12th player in the world, however, had to work harder against the Chilean Alejandro Tabilo ((5)6-7, 7-6(5), 6-2) who took him to the decisive game during the first two rounds.
Murray heroic, but beaten
Then in the evening (late afternoon in Miami), Jannik Sinner also experienced great difficulties when reaching the 8th finals. Beaten in the first round, the Italian played to scare himself before finally winning in 2h23 against the Batavian Tallon Griekspoor (5-7, 7-5, 6-1). Andy Murray, for his part, spent more time on the court without getting his ticket for the 8th. The Czech Tomas Machac won the tie-break of the last set for an epic success in 3h25 (5-7, 7-5, 7-6(5)). Playing with bad luck, the Scot injured his ankle but was keen to finish the match. He even came close to achieving a great feat. Tomas Machac will face the Italian Matteo Arnaldi in the next round who took the lead over the Canadian Denis Shapovalov (6-3, 7-6(7)).
